History of White Musk
Musk was a name given to a strongly scented substance obtained from a gland of the musk deer. The substance has been widely used as a fragrance fixative since antiquity and is one of the most expensive animal products in the world. The name comes from the Late Greek μόσχος “moskhos” and from the Sanskrit muṣka.
White musk essential oil was originally extracted from the glands of the Himalayan musk deer. The musk deer belongs to the family Moschidae and lives in Tibet, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and other Eastern countries. The musk pod is a preputial gland located in a sac beneath the skin of the male deer’s abdomen. It is obtained by killing the male deer using traps set in the wild. After drying, the reddish-brown paste inside the musk pod
turns into a black granular material called “musk grain”, which is then tinctured in alcohol.
However, since 1979, the original production method, which required killing the male deer, has been banned to prevent ecological imbalance. The musk essential oil used today is produced in 2 ways:
1. Plant-based, consisting of other essential oils that mimic the smell of musk and come from musk flowers (Mimulus moschatus) of western North America, muskwood (Olearia argophylla) of Australia and musk seeds (Abelmoschus moschatus) from India.
2. Since obtaining musk from deer requires killing an endangered animal, almost all musk fragrance produced today in perfumery is synthetic, known as “white musk”.
